DENVER -- Artturi Lehkonen scored twice for the Colorado Avalanche in a 4-1 win against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Ball Arena on Tuesday.

Nathan MacKinnon’s childhood idol and role model has turned into a training partner and one of his closest friends.

The Avalanche looked sluggish, turned the puck over a lot, and didn’t have their legs. But they still found a way to beat the lowly Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Tuesday. Make that three straight wins for Colorado as the homestand reaches the halfway mark.

Artturi Lehkonen scored twice and Scott Wedgewood made 32 saves in the Avalanche's 4-1 victory against the Pittsburgh Penguins at Ball Arena on Tuesday. Casey Mittelstadt scored the game-winning goal and Jack Drury added a tally for Colorado while Nathan MacKinnon posted a pair of assists to reach 70 helpers on the season.

Artturi Lehkonen scored two goals, Casey Mittelstadt netted the tiebreaking tally with 4:09 to go and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Tuesday in Denver.

Casey Mittelstadt scored with 4:06 remaining and Scott Wedgewood made 32 saves to help the Colorado Avalanche fend off the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Casey Mittelstadt scored the go-ahead goal on a power play with 4:09 remaining, Nathan MacKinnon extended his home point streak to 17 games, and the Colorado Avalanche beat the Pittsburgh Penguins 4-1 on Tuesday night.

When the Montreal Canadiens traded Mikhail Sergachev to the Tampa Bay Lightning for Jonathan Drouin, fans and management alike thought the search for a number one center was over. The Habs brass was so convinced that it immediately signed Drouin to a six-year pact worth $33 M.

It feels like the Pittsburgh Penguins deserved a much better fate than their 4-1 loss to the Colorado Avalanche on Tuesday.
